Why act early in Greensted Green
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Greensted Green gets to the real cause. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Greensted Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

- Fully insured

Extract fan repair in Greensted Green
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and bearings, and people most often call us about an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and an old fan that needs replacing.
For a fan repair in or near Greensted Green, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Somewhere like Greensted Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- An overheating extract motor
- A dead fan motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
